The early learning curve of the bipolar enucleation of the prostate: a multicenter cohort study.

Objectives: To evaluate the early learning curve of BipolEP (Bipolar Enucleation of the Prostate).

Subjects/patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter analysis of surgical and functional outcomes of patients treated with BipolEp for BPO (benign prostatic obstruction). We evaluated the first 20 cases of BipolEp performed by four different surgeons in three different countries.

Long-Term Follow-Up after Testicular Torsion: Prospective Evaluation of Endocrine and Exocrine Testicular Function, Fertility, Oxidative Stress and Erectile Function.

Background: This study investigates endocrine and exocrine testicular function, oxidative stress (OS) in semen, and erectile function in patients who underwent surgery for suspected testicular torsion (TT). Methods: We evaluated 49 patients over a mean follow-up of 101 months: n = 25 patients treated with surgical exploration, n = 20 patients treated with detorsion, and n = 4 treated with orchiectomy. We performed semen analysis including Male infertility Oxidative System (MyOxSIS) analysis, physical examination, and evaluation of endocrine and erectile function.

Transurethral resection of the prostate in 85+ patients: a retrospective, multicentre study.

Purpose: To determine the safety and efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) in patients 85 years or older.

Methods: In this retrospective, multicentre study, patients equal or older than 85 years at the time of surgery (2015-2020) were included. Several pre-, peri- and postoperative parameters were collected.

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy before Nephroureterectomy in High-Risk Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a well-established concept in muscle-invasive bladder cancer with known advantages in overall survival. Phase II trials show encouraging response rates for neoadjuvant immunotherapy before radical surgery in urothelial cancer. There is no recommendation for neoadjuvant therapy in upper tract urothelial carcinoma before nephroureterectomy.
